realtek 8185 supports wpa2 with odyssey client 4.56 and works on dell latitude d600, ebay sells rtl8185 for fairly cheap, i have not tested 8180, supposedly it was supposed to have a working windows 95 driver but i never got it to work on windows 95, though it was a pci card version i tested, i never tested the 8180 mini pci card version for 95 or 98SE. the broadcom wireless mini pci cards do not seem to work very well so i tend to avoid them if i can.

Not 100% sure this is the correct place for this but it is a 'software' program I guess. For anyone using 'The Proxomitron' created by Scott R. Lemmon years ago ... Scott R. Lemmon - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_R._Lemmon Over at the 'The Un-Official Proxomitron Forum' there is a member by the name of Amy that has been working on Proxomitron for over a year looking for bugs and fixes ... the project has been named Proxomitron Reborn and she has released the latest update on Sep 04, 2018 ... http://prxbx.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2331&page=6 ------------------------------------------------------------- Sep. 04, 2018, 02:45 AM (This post was last modified: Sep. 05, 2018 02:50 AM by amy.) amy RE: Proxomitron Reborn 4.5.2.0 has been released! This fixes a lot of latent bugs which Scott never got around to (and some, like the multithreading ones, which wouldn't have been visible nor easily reproducible on the single-core hardware of the time), so it can be considered the first improvement release of The Proxomitron since 2003! Quote:- Fix opening local file URLs - Fix buffer overflow in proxy test function - Stabilise and refine header filter ordering - URL: filters are now applied first, and also show first in the list. They are sorted respectively alphabetically. - Clarify file URLs for opening blocklists: URL commands must be enabled to do so, and if not, a warning message is shown. - Fix date checking for If-Modified-Since in local file requests. Original code would always respond with "not modified", possibly causing caching problems with local file replacements. - Fix Show URL in browser for https and add option to include scheme. When adding a URL to a blocklist, the menu option to open in browser was broken for https URLs. Now that has been fixed, and a checkbox added to allow you to include the scheme (https:// or http://) when adding to the list. - Fix unintentional sign-extension in base-64 encoding. Non-ASCII basswords and such should now encode and decode correctly. - Fix allow IP range comparison. This was accidentally introduced in the rebuild and not in 4.5j. - Fix duplicate load and image handle leak when loading textures - Fix tray icon tooltip (now it says Bypassed when... bypassed) - Fix memory leak in $STOP() - Fix memory leak in SSLeayShutdown() - Fix handling of FEXTRA and FHCRC for gzip format - Fix Allow for Session certificate dialog with multiple parallel connections. It will not continue asking the same host if you have multiple parallel connections and already said Allow for Session once. - Fix erroneous check of return value when setting OpenSSL certificate callback - Fix header filter count decrement race condition. No more erroneous "Filters In Use" with 0 active connections - Fix saving and restoring window sizes (for multiple-monitor users) - Fix multithreaded OpenSSL initialisation race condition crash - Fix positioning of context menus for multiple-monitor systems - Various cleanup/removal of dead-ends in code. Thanks for all the feature suggestions --- better SSL/TLS filtering support seems to be "most wanted" at the moment, but here's a list of things planned for 4.6: - Generate and cache appropriately-named certificates (like ProxHTTPSProxyMII, but integrated) - A way to better manage the Certificate Error exception list and make it persistent (how about in blockfile format? ) - Allow local.ptron and proxy itself to be accessed via HTTPS, although I'm not sure what browsers can make use of the latter - $REM() for comments in patterns (requested by mizzmona) The following 7 users say Thank You to amy for this post: soccerfan, mizzmona, prxymouse, zoltan, referrer, usr, Callahan ----------------------------------------------------------- I mention this for anyone interested in and still using Proxomitron. ...

make sure you block/hide the KB3163589 update on your Win8.0 computer, Jody! also don't forget to block/hide the KB2976978 update as well (oh yes there is also a version of KB2976978 for Win8.0 and not just for Win8.1) on a spare hard drive on my old HP m8417c computer running Win8.0 x64 Pro WMC edition, I got that annoying notice mentioned in MS support KB article 3163589, all because I may have accidentally installed that update thru Windows Update. I have uninstalled the KB3163589 update and have blocked it from being offered again from WU. I actually did run that GWX control panel app on that Win8.0 machine to change some reg entries so that I won't be upgraded to Win10

Good answer and I'll bear it in mind. Vista's not going to be with us forever -- or at least the Server 2008 updates won't be, and there'll be a time where the OS is best appreciated in a virtual machine. Windows 7 is headed for the same Old CPU's Home clearly enough, and there won't be a prospect of updates from Server 2008 R2. And I've got mixed feelings about Win 10 -- it's clearly aimed at 20-something folks with cellphones and selfies and twitter rather than old farts like me who are content with desktop machines and who secretly thing "Computers are meant for SERIOUS BUSINESS!" So I can imagine switching some day, or adding Win 8 as a place to take refuge from 10.

Well on the PC I'm running now (my HP xw8200), I was going to install Windows 8.1 Pro x64 (this was back three years ago), but there was a CPU incompatibility with my Netburst Xeons. It's discussed in another thread. So I sourced Windows 8 x64 Pro, and it worked. So I stayed with it, and then I found out about all of the GWX stunts, added telemetry and CPU blocking that Microsoft started pulling with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and said to myself, "Hmmmmmm, now that I have 2012 updates working on it, I'll stay with Windows 8, since the OS isn't affected by all of that nonesense" Besides, other than the improvement in metro apps or booting to the desktop (which Classic Shell does anyway), there was very little that changed in the "Explorer" (desktop) portion of the OS. So I decided to stick with it, and vowed that my next machine would use it too. Until I changed machines, I decided to go back to Vista back in March just to try out the updates from 2008. I just wanted to briefly flirt with it, but I'm ready to set up a machine that I can now use happily for the next five years.

Sure thing. I'll be over at the other thread I started "Server 2012 Updates on Windows 8" :)

SYMPTOMS Windows 8.1 does not fully boot after restarting your PC. CAUSE Old StartIsBack+ versions are not compatible with new Windows Updates. Specifically, this may happen with versions 1.5.2 and below. RESOLUTION Press Ctrl+Alt+Del (or Win+Power on tablet). Select Task Manager, File – Run new task. Type StartIsBackCfg.exe /uninstall and click OK. On a tablet, you may need to locate osk.exe in \Windows\System32 folder and run it to be able to type on the screen. As alternative, you may run iexplore.exe (or firefox.exe, chrome.exe or your other favorite browser), go to www.startisback.com, download and install newer version. BOTTOM LINE I'm very sorry for the troubles if caused. Please make sure you're running latest StartIsBack+ version and are installing updates if you're using automatic Windows Update system. This problem should not rise again. Like
